A good rule of thumb to keep in

prune from the bottom up instead of
from the lop ilown Shade trees rare

heading up. that is. removing loMer
limbs so vou can M ulk underneath
them
I opping a tree not onlv c rcates an
unsightlv tree but severely weakens
it. making it susceptible to diseases
and insects It is usuullv better to let
shade trees grow to their normal
height and shape, removing only
those limbs and brunches which
make Irallic around the tree diticult

w ith tlk- problem I he obv io u s solu
lion, of course-, is not to plant trees
beneath power or telephone lines In
tact, when planting trees, consider
their lull genetic potential and place
them accordingly
It is also beneficial to remove
small branches and "buggy whips
which tend to grow inside the

These w ill not thrive

the sale ol MOO m illion worth of
wheat in a market where, up to now
wheat has been uncompctiiive
' Anytime Ank-ricati producers
can make gockl on an opportumtv to
break into a market the size ot

ol the 1984 farm bill was designed
to combat subsidies offered by na
Hons or cooperatives like the f uro

It
creates similar subsidies lor certain

this instance making American
wheat prices competitive
For the moment, the wheal sale

simply consume the wheat rather
than plant it. the disease would not
